Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on July 27, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Max Scherzer! You're aging like a fine fastball—still fierce and impossible to predict. From your dominant days with the Detroit Tigers to becoming one of baseball's most feared pitchers, you've consistently thrown heat that leaves batters baffled (and occasionally terrified). Your intensity on the mound is legendary; rumor has it even umpires practice their strike calls before facing you.

Here's wishing another year filled with epic stare-downs, record-breaking performances, and maybe fewer arguments over sticky substances. Keep bringing that fiery passion—we wouldn't have Mad Max any other way. Enjoy your day as much as hitters dread seeing you step onto the field!
